Who knew that our magical mother-daughter trip would end this way…
Bali was all that everyone says it to be, blissful, serene, beautiful, heavenly, therapeutic, undeniably raw, spiritual, godly and a discovery at every part of the island!
We had the most magical trip mother & daughter! We often do these 1-on-1 parent child trips in our family and it benefits the children and it strength our relationships! This year was Bali with my eldest.
Sadly, on the last day in the island of the Gods, I received the devastating news of the passing of my father. It was sudden, unexpected, he simply didn’t wake up! Heart attack!
I questioned God, destiny, karma all of it! My dad was gone but my worries were for my mom! I couldn’t bear to imagine her having held my dad lifeless, trying to reanimate him! The trauma of that image in my mind kept me in worry, I couldn’t leave the island at that time of the night and my flight was the day after!
That morning I went to the Bali temple for prayer, for blessings from the gods and it gave me so much ch inner peace and strength! I realised worrying wasn’t going to change my present! I stopped worrying for those last moments on the island with my daughter and tried to embrace inner peace! In peace was my strength, in accepting what had happened! In accepting that it was in no one’s hand and that fate had its own course!
Bali you will always be remembered for your beauty, nature and spirituality! I don’t won’t to remember you through that sad ending but rather through all the energy, spirituality and beauty you offered my daughter and I during our visit!

Electrolytes are a game changer! If you haven’t tried you don’t know what you’re missing!
Comment “salt” if you’d like to know what electrolytes I take!
Drinking 2-3L water is great but hydration is more than that and face it, spending your day in the toilet isn’t fun for you or for the bladder!
Electrolytes are lost when we p*e, sweat, drink caffeine, are sick or have diarrhoea.
Food for thought…
1- don’t wait to get thirsty before you drink! Thirst signals from the body are indicating the start of dehydration
2- you don’t need to drink 1L in one go - that will force you to spend more time in the toilet flushing out minerals. Sipping water throughout the day is more beneficial, more effectively absorbed by the body
3- hydrating in the morning with electrolytes helps replace the 500mg of sodium we lose overnight
4- caffeine first thing in the morning increases diureses and salt loss
5- electrolytes include sodium, chloride, potassium, magnesium, calcium and should not contain sugar and sweeteners
6- having salt water reduces sugar cravings
Have I given you enough reasons?
Just try starting your day with electrolytes and come back to me about the amazing results!
Give them to your teenagers!
Eat well, feel amazing?

Have a great balanced weekend!
It’s Friday and often when the weekend hits, a lot of us relax with any food/dietary restrictions we’ve imposed on ourselves and “cheat a little”.
Sadly more than often, the “cheat day” weekends completely wreck all the effort made during the week and don’t really work as a “one off” but rather as part of your average. So let’s say you’ve been on a calorie deficit week and on the weekend you splurge on your calorie intake and triplicate it (trust me it’s easily done), that’s going to count towards your weekly average bringing it high up. Often the 5 weekday effort gets a punch in the face by just that 1 bad day!
This is why I do intermittent fasting! I don’t over restrict myself, don’t sit and count calories, balance things out all week so I don’t need that “crazy cheat day” and I learn how to feed my body in a healthy, sane way!
Here are some top tips for weekends:
1- drinks a large glass of water before your big meal (if you can add a tap of vinegar to that, even better)
2- if you’re eating out have a healthy fat before you walk out the door, eg a spoonful of a nut butter, a couple of nuts (6-8 pieces even), avocado, seeds, fat coffee… this will kill hunger pangs so you’re not starving by the time you reach your dinner table
3- don’t eat bread at the start of your meal. If you’re really hungry ask for olives - great fat to have and won’t spike your blood glucose like bread will - if you must have the bread, have it after main course
4- share dessert rather than ordering a whole one yourself, will help reduce the over indulgence
5- choose your drinks wisely, avoid the cocktails high in sugar. Go for wine or white spirits and always ask for the light mixers, light tonic, soda or Coca-Cola Zero. Avoid juice mixers that spike your blood glucose. Of course water is always the best choice but where’s the fun in that 🤷🏽‍♀️🤣🙃😉
Hope hess tips help you have fun and balance things out!
Happy weekend!
Eat well, feel amazing!
